Since January, I started having symptoms like a constant urge to urinate and pressure in my bladder, sometimes accompanied by burning in my vaginal area, as well as dryness. They did a vaginal culture and it came back positive for Candida, but it wasn’t treated because I didn’t have the typical symptoms. Then a month later I had another culture with a different gynecologist and it came back positive for bacterial vaginosis, and that time they gave me Fluomizin ovules, although my symptoms still weren’t typical—just dryness and occasional burning.

All of this is accompanied by pelvic pain. About four gynecologists have already ruled out PID. It’s not digestive or a bladder issue, so what could it be? I don’t know what could be happening to me.

Right now I only have pelvic pain, and sometimes a burning sensation that comes and goes, but nothing else.

Desde enero, empecé a tener síntomas como ganas constantes de orinar y presión en la vejiga, a veces acompañadas de ardor en la zona vaginal, además de sequedad. Me hicieron un cultivo vaginal que dio positivo para Candida, pero no me trataron porque no tenía los síntomas típicos. Un mes después, me hicieron otro cultivo con otra ginecóloga y dio positivo para vaginosis bacteriana. En esa ocasión me recetaron óvulos de Fluomizin, aunque mis síntomas seguían sin ser los típicos: solo sequedad y ardor ocasional.

Todo esto viene acompañado de dolor pélvico. Cuatro ginecólogos ya han descartado la enfermedad inflamatoria pélvica (EIP). No es un problema digestivo ni de vejiga, así que ¿qué podría ser? No sé qué me está pasando.

Hello, I’m a 23-year-old woman who in January started having symptoms similar to a “urinary infection,” such as pressure in the bladder area and a constant urge to urinate. After about a month, that went away, but I was left with pain in my lower abdomen. I had urine cultures, bladder ultrasounds, etc., and it was ruled out that the bladder was the cause. I’ve had this lower abdominal pain from February until now—so almost 4 unbearable months. The pain is constant; it seems to improve for a few seconds when I have a bowel movement, but then it comes back. It’s there all the time. (Gynecological causes have also already been ruled out.) So I don’t understand—could my intestines be causing this?
